A Comprehensive Review of the Genetic Etiology and Management of Orofacial Clefts

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cleft lip (CL) and cleft palate (CP), collectively referred to as orofacial clefts (OFCs), are among the most common birth defects and can have significant effects on speech, nutrition, and physical and psychosocial development. Manifestation, classification, and treatment plans of OFCs are diverse and not standardized.

Comparative Mutant Analysis of Arabidopsis ABCC-Type ABC Transporters: AtMRP2 Contributes to Detoxification, Vacuolar Organic Anion Transport and Chlorophyll Degradation [PDF]

, 2017
The enormous metabolic plasticity of plants allows detoxification of many harmful compounds that are generated during biosynthetic processes or are present as biotic or abiotic toxins in their environment.

Some ABCA3 mutations elevate ER stress and initiate apoptosis of lung epithelial cells [PDF]

, 2011
Background ABCA3 transporter (ATP-binding cassette transporter of the A subfamily) is localized to the limiting membrane of lamellar bodies, organelles for assembly and storage of pulmonary surfactant in alveolar epithelial type II cells ...

Uric Acid in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
MASLD is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, yet effective pharmacological treatments remain limited. Hyperuricemia is now recognized as a key driver of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, with elevated serum uric acid levels independently predicting hepatocellular carcinoma and liver‐related mortality.

Novel deletions causing pseudoxanthoma elasticum underscore the genomic instability of the ABCC6 region [PDF]

, 2010
Mutations in ABCC6 cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a heritable disease that affects elastic fibers. Thus far, >200 mutations have been characterized by various PCR-based techniques (primarily direct sequencing), identifying up to 90% of PXE-causing

Thirty years of glyphosate‐resistant crops and weeds: Current situation and future prospects

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Since 1996, when the first glyphosate‐resistant crop was commercialized and the first resistant weed was reported, resistance has expanded globally. This review analyzes emergence patterns across weed species, crops, regions, resistance mechanisms, and herbicides.

Genome-wide identification of CBX2 targets: insights in the human sex development network [PDF]

, 2015
CBX2 (Chromobox homolog 2) is a chromatin modifier that plays an important role in sexual development and its disorders (disorders of sex development, DSD), yet the exact rank and function of human CBX2 in this pathway remains unclear. Here, we performed

Farnesoid X receptor prevents hyperuricemia via activating ATP‐binding cassette subfamily G member 2

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activation reduces serum uric acid levels by upregulating the intestinal urate transporter ATP‐binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2). These findings uncover a novel metabolic pathway for urate excretion and suggest that FXR agonists (e.g., obeticholic acid), represent a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment

Diving Deeper Into Mechanisms of Acrylamide‐Induced Toxicity: RNA Sequencing Reveals Transcriptomic Alteration and Retrotransposon Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.
